    What ever happened to The Lollipop Guild or Short Bread Army?

    Short Bread Army is another one I forgot about! I thought they all kinda folded into Destiny or Tem but correct me if I'm wrong there.

    ...on second thought, did Lollipop start up on Alleria-WoW or was it only Shield of Norrath/Azeroth and the leftovers from DC?

    SBA had pretty much disbanded by the time I joined AK in '05. There were 3 or 4 peeps left in Lollipop, but they were rarely on for the decade I played on AK. Pathfinders managed to stay together for quite some time, and Sanctuary survived decades of low attendance. Dark Conquest imploded near the end of AK, and it's membership scattered into Tem and Destiny. Spirits of Yamato (the Japanese guild) raided with Destiny till the end. The Horde had many ups and downs over the years, but was still together as of the sunset.

    TLDR; Karpan was a good player, perhaps made some mistakes as a leader.

    AK was so top heavy when I joined in 05, that I nearly gave up trying to play because there was no one even remotely near my level. Karpan took me under his wing, answered all of my dumb noob questions, and taught me what a fun game EQ was once I had the commands working. I would have quit the game entirely if I hadn't met him on my second day on AK.

    I had a similarly good experience with Karpan. I don't know if it was his fault as much as other officers from the guild, but we from the smaller guilds felt unwanted recruitment of our ranks through the years in their race with the leading guild. To Karpan's credit, he never actively poached our members, and I believe he was not behind this drama. I believe he simply was caught in it all.

    I believe a handful of members from The Lollipop Guild moved over to WOW. In particular, the server Whisperwind. From there, I believe many of them joined the Shield of Norrath, although if I remember correctly they wore "The Lollipop Guild" for some time before that happened.
